It is "before the sun". If you listen carefully carefully to OCMS's recordings and performances without preconceived bias, this is what is sung with the pronunciation with two syllables "Bee_For". Unfortunately, this is what is the majority of lyrics posted for this song use. There are also a number of really wrong ones, but I can understand why people think "fit for" because it sounds kinda similar to "before" particularly when sung with a little exagguration. Anyway that is what my ears tell me.

On another point, getting a "move on before the sun" would make sense in the context of the song. It's about a man hitch-hiking to see his girl and he wants to get there as fast as possible.
i'm pretty sure its "gotta get a move on before the sun", not "fit for the sun". great song.
check out OCMS live if you ever get a chance, always a great show!
Well, the OCMS lyrics say "Fit for the sun", and that is what the song says, sooo.....
